Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help! Our students' mail needs a new home and I think you can help!

Our fourth graders have been using the same cardboard mailboxes for years, and you can tell.

They have been used for so many years-they are worn, tired and a bit of an eyesore.

Please brighten up our classroom!! Our fourth graders love nothing more than delivering mail to each other and being couriers. These marvelous bamboo mailboxes are going to last a lifetime!

Thank you for helping us make snail mail a better part of our classroom community!
